Ya sure they had tape, it was "duck tape!" :)  A side line to the U-R-right
line of image cutters! :)

Ya I guess it has something to do with the single malt developer made in
Vetslar! :) Things were going swimmingly, me and Noah doing a gig in stone
on a boat, when along came this guy Moses who wrote ten commandments on
using a Leica  UR-image cutter. And everything went summiluxing down hill
after that! :)

So OK, I forgot to mention it was a UR-image cutter that was duck taped
together! :) This looks like I'm sufffering from getting back to the
realities of Leicaleese! Whatever the hell that is after this past week. :)

If this sounds rediculous, just think how stupid much of the past 7 days
sounded?:) I've had to read my own medical book for Leica self help
recovery! :)
